At a recent presentation I gave to Project Manager's regarding BA's, they were very interested in seeing a Requirements Traceability Matrix, so I have attached the instructions for creating one, as well as for the corresponding Tech Spec Traceability Matrix, typically completed by developers.

I hope this is helpful!

If it has to be MSOffice, I would use Excel .. it provides flexibility to show the traceability matrix from different POV.

Great feedback Les! This document is meant to be instructions on creating a matrix, and at the bottom it indicates to "create a spreadsheet with the following columns and rows." I apologize for not indicating Excel, as it is the most common spreadsheet application. Now I just need to figure out how to update something once it is posted. :)

What would be nice is an article showing how we may use Excel to view traceability matrices from different POVs:

- Business -> System
- Business -> Test
- System -> Test

and vice versa .. all from the same table.

I'd get on it, but I'm busy applying for jobs.

Your form is similar to mine, but better. Could you add a sample row?
